Implied Texture

Texture describes the feel of an actual surface. Sculpture, ceramic ware or collages may have rough or grainy surfaces - or actual textures you can feel. \a drawing, print, or painting can be made to look like a textured surface and has implied texture, because it may look like a texture, but actually is on smooth, flat paper.
In art class we practiced various painting techniques in order to create different textures. It was fun experimenting with all these unusual painting tools.

Coil Pots

Coiled pots are constructed by gradually stacking and joining coils of clay one on top of the other.
The goal was to make sure the pot will stand on it's own and in the building process to practice new elements and principles of art - balance and form. The first step was to make sure that the base is strong enough to hold the top parts. Another important thing they learned was when rolling the coil, they had to put the same amount of pressure as they moved the hands from one side to the other.

They all created unique designs, so proud of them!
